A FATALITY ABOUT THEM.
Drunken Servant Girls About Little Chill
dren in q Church Home.

NEW YORK. Sept. 28-A shocking state of
affairs developed to-day at the Children's
Home, connected with the Church OF the Messiah,
of which Rev. Dr. Robert Collier is pastor. The
home is situated 430 East Fifty third street. in
a densely populated tenement district 1t is a
place where poor women can leave their children
20 be cared for while they go OUT to work. Mrs.
Newson. the matron. was given help two
girls named Mary McGee and Annie Brine, who
were taken from Castle Garden come weeks ago.
These girls had not been in the house week
until they engaged IN a secret correspondence
with some laborers in lumber yard adjoining.
Soon cladestine meetings were discovered, and
the young men became the medium for trans
rnittine beer and spirltuous liquors to the girls.
The latter carried their debauches to the extent
of taking the little children into their room and
plying them with whisky until they became
unconscious.
!. T-s4t Sunday a lady visitor noticed two of the
s.hi1drep-one d girl of seven and the other only
three-stretchsd upon the floor in etupor.
They were found upon Investigation to be drunk.
Mary McGee was called to attend to the matter.
She came and in a leering manner began to
fonde the child, she being 80 intoxicated herself
that she could not articulate plainly. AS the
girls hired by the board of managers, the
matron had power to dismiss them She
wrote the lady managers. but they paid no at
.ention to the matter, they we're either at
their country homes or at the seaside.
The treasurer responded to letter from the
matron by saying:
Tell the girls they must do better if they want
to stay"
To-day these attendants became abusive
that the matron had TO call in officer. DIR.
Robert Collier, in speaking of the affair this
afternoon, was greatly asronished. He said he
had been absent from the city during the entire
summer, and the home in thoroughly
good condition when he went away. He
added:
''This is the first breath of suspicion against it.
I sLall investigate the matter at once. It was
only in my sermon yesterday that spoke of the
worth of the home"

some Evidence that the Victim Was Tres
passing on German Territory.
BERLIN, Sept. 2S.-The public prosecutor at
Colmar has made an inquiry into the circum-
stances connected with the shooting affair on
the Franco-German frontier near Raon sur
Plane, Saturday last, aud reports that Kauf-
mann, the soldier who detailed to assist
the forest guard in preventing poachine and
who did the shooting, saw twelve persons in the
pine forests, German territory, walking in
the direction of the French frontier. Kaufman
called three times for the party to halt, but no
attention was paid to his summons and he fred.
Then, seeing guns 1eveled at him from behind
some trees the French side OF the boundary
he retreated from his position One of the for
est guards. named Linhof, witness to the
whole affair, and corroborates Kaufmanns state
ment. Two large biood-spots were found on
the French side, five yards from the frontier,
which taken as evidence that Brignon. the
game mebeater for the French party. who died from
his wounds, dragged himself to the spot
after being wounded and lay there
for some time. No blood m arks
or footprints were seen on the German side of
the frontier, there being high growth or
heather thereabouts. Owing TO the density of
the undergrowth of brush and thickness OF the
trees, it would have been impossible for Kauf-
mann, from the spot where he fired, to have
the place where the blood marks were
found, or to have shot any there. 1t is
therefore assumed by the public prosecutor that
the shots were fred and took effect on German
territory. The soldiers who accompanied Kauf-
mann aver that they saw Frenchmen
trespassing on German territory and shouted TO
warn them. The Frenchmep paid no heed TO
their cries and attacked the Kaufman party.
The Germans then fred, all concerned being at
the time German soil.
The North German Gazette depiores the Incl
dent. and says: 1--WE must await the result of
the judicial inquiry before taking any action in
the matter"

StrategIA Rat Killing.

"To attempt to catch rats BY traps or

porter for the Mail and Express. "Old
rats know too much, and can be caught
only by kindness. To destroy them,
give them good meal every day. Do
not put any poison in tho food, but
simply prepare dish for them daily, as
free lunch, composed of corn meal,

every day. They will soon try little,
and if not injurious their suspicious will

will expect it and every rat on the place
will be at tho appointed spot. for the
treat. Give plenty of it so as to induce
all the rats in the neishborhood to join
in. Do not be in hurry to poison them.
If they eat all the food give them q
larger portion next time. As soon as
they have thrown off all suspicion get
some phosphorus paste or other rat
poison, mix it with the food and be
sure to give them enough and something |

A New Asparagus.

Some little interest has been excited
by the announcement of the discovery of
a new and remarkable variety of aspara-
gus on the steppes of Akhal- -Tekiz. 1t
has not been botanically identified, but
it is represented as growing perfectly
wild, the stalks being nearly as thick as
mans arm and attaining a height of
five or six feet, so that one of them is
said to suffice ten Russian soldiers for a
meal. If the preference of experts for
wild asparagus finds justification in this
variety-and its flavor is described as

Slugs and Ants.

slugs are troublesome both in the opcr
ground and in the greenhouse, says
Peter Henderson in tho Agriculturist.
Salt is certain death to them, even in
smallest quantities, and when in the
open garden, slight sprinkling of salt
over the ground is effcctual; but the
sprinkling, it must bc remembered
must be very slight, as salt, if put on
(cven ms thick as sand is usually sown on
q fooD will kill almost any kind of
vegetation. In our greenhouses, the
slugs usually feed at night, getting under
the benches during the day. We have
found most etfectual remedy in strewinp
thin line of salt on edge of bench; this
makes complete "dead line" for the
slugs and snails, for they cannot cross it
and live. Another plan is to slice up
potatoes, carrots, cabbage, or lettuce
leaves, to feed on, for which they will
leave all other plants. Examine these
traps daily, and destroy the captives.
OF all insect pests on lawns, or sandy
soils, ants are the most troublesome, and
when these arc on such large areas, any
remedy as yet known is almost futile to
destroy them. When on small areas,
outside or in the greenhouses, we find
soout the best plans are to lay fresh
bones or paper covered with molasses
around their haunts; these they will |
come to in large numbers; they should
be removed daily and burned or other
wise destroyed. Another method that
we have found more destructive to them
han any other, is to puff Pyrethrum or
Persian Insect Powder from a strong
bellows among them. The smallest par.
icle of this powder at once chokes and
iills them, though it must strike them
Try to be effective; for we find that
when the powder lies damp on the floor,
hey will run over it and even burrow

Yer tried will 'poison" ants. Either
